The curtain just kicked off on the field, and the first fierce battle of the CBA league of the season was staged. A malicious foul by Zhang Hui of the Shandong men's basketball team caused Shenzhen foreign aid Macon to be injured and fell to the ground, and the screams resounded in the stadium, and the game was forced to be interrupted in a commotion. As the video was played, tough disciplinary tactics were imposed on Zhang Hui and his team. This incident provoked strong public indignation, and once again attracted profound questioning of the CBA league's game ethics and sports ethics.
A cold foul, the foreign aid was seriously injured and fell to the ground screaming
This season's CBA has begun, and teams are in full swing to prepare. However, in the past Shenzhen Marco Polo men's basketball team against Shandong high-speed men's basketball team, a bad incident occurred that made people raise eyebrows.
As a more aggressive away team, the Shandong men's basketball team had more opportunities to take the initiative. However, in the face of the flexible cooperation of Shenzhen's five small lineups, the Shandong team felt dismal, with only 1 hit in the first 20 shots, completely losing its rhythm. The Shenzhen team, under the leadership of Macon, gradually widened the score gap to 20 points.
Just as the game entered garbage time, Shenzhen teenager Macon broke through with the ball and was surrounded by Shandong player Zhang Hui. With a slight exertion, the latter pushed Macon towards teammate Chen Peidong, and after the two collided, Macon fell hard and let out a creepy scream. The stunned referee quickly broke in to stop him, while Macon rolled on the ground in pain until he was stretchered off the scene.
Video replays from the scene clearly show that this was entirely due to Zhang Hui's deliberate foul. Although he was directly expelled from the scene afterwards, there was no remorse on his face. This scene made all the audience gasp.
Reactions from all sides: team disappointment, teammates worried, public opinion criticism
Macon was later diagnosed with a severe laceration of the cruciate ligament in his knee and required at least six weeks of rehabilitation. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the strength of the Shenzhen team, and what is even more embarrassing is that Macon has played an excellent form in the previous games.
On the other hand, this incident also put the Shandong team in a dilemma. Not only did they swallow defeat away from home, but they also suffered a huge mental blow. In the face of the media, head coach Ding Wei was uncharacteristically silent, and the players were also depressed. After the incident, the Chinese Basketball Association decisively suspended Zhang Hui for 3 games and fined 100,000 yuan, and head coach Ding Wei was also fined 10,000 yuan.
Major sports media outlets have condemned Zhang Hui as the worst and most despicable foul of the season so far. "He has no remorse, does he still deserve to be called a professional footballer?" A veteran commentator was heartbroken. Countless fans are also excited on the Internet, giving Zhang Hui an extremely negative label, and some even call him "the new evil guy of the CBA".
The league's sporting ethos has been dealt another blow, and the foul problem needs to be solved urgently
If we look closely, we can find that in the development of the CBA in recent years, more and more lawless foul behaviors are quietly emerging. This is not only due to the deviation of some players' personal consciousness and ethics, but also related to the overall environmental atmosphere and disciplinary methods of the league.
In the past, the prominence of "evil guys" like Wang Xiaohui and Xu Zhonghao has attracted criticism from the outside world many times. Now, Zhang Hui's incident has directly pushed this issue to the forefront. The league and all teams are facing the first blow of review and rectification. After all, this is not only related to the fairness and justice of the CBA game, but also will seriously affect the image of Chinese basketball in the world.
We have reason to believe that with the joint efforts of all sectors of society, this problem will eventually be alleviated. But the most important thing right now is to make the players who are still lucky know that you will never escape the final sanctions. Any unsportsmanlike behavior will be punished as it deserves.
